New research has shown that, teenagers who engaged themselves in moderate physical activity, has
better metabolism and burn more calories than their inactive age-fellows, a truth that provide protection against type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the insulin in body fails to regulate blood-sugar, causing blood sugar levels to rise. The disorder is associated with obesity, but studies in adults have shown that constant physical workout can prevent its arrival.
Whether this is true in case of children or teenagers, there is still no evidence. It is important to know, as rising rates of obesity in children are leading to increasing rates of type 2 diabetes.
For the new study, researchers planted 32 male and female teenagers with accelerometers to record the body’s movement in a day.
